2012 Recruiting Class

Scholarships Remaining in this Class:

Min: 2 (assuming VT puts Allan Cheney on the injured list — i.e. can still receive a scholarship, but he cannot ever play ball for VT again)

Max: 3 (if JT Thompson does not return next year)

Likely Targets: The guard position. VT has 2 PGs back next year (Green – Sr, Rankin – So), but just 1 true SG (Brown – SG). Eddie could move to SG, move Doe Doe to the SF, but that would leave depth issues inside.

The Skinny:

This isn’t a flashy recruiting class, but no one expected it to be after the Hokies hauled in their greatest recruiting class ever last year, and best recruit since Dell Curry in Dorian Finney-Smith.

The signees (and both signed in the early period) addressed Tech’s need for big men. Montrezl Harrell is a unanimous Top 100 recruit who will play inside. He’s not a big big, but he’ll play like a beast.

Marshall Wood is a tall, skinny kid who could play inside or move out to the wing. He’ll stretch defenses with his jumper, but has amazing vertical hops and will dunk with the best.

The Wild Hokie Club!

The Hokies experienced their worst season since the ricky "program bomb" stokes era. Sure, it would have been easy to quit on you, but did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!

And we do it for free! But, just like NPR, we rely on the generosity of our loyal fans to help keep this humble Hokie website alive. That being said, see how you can help TechHoops.com make it to 10 years!

Jon King, Ben Floyd and Dan Rickenbach all got in on the action and we encourage all TechHoops heads to do the same.

Any donation amount earns you a spot in our Wild Hokie Club. We'll even give you a shout out on Twitter and Facebook. We may even let you get armcurled by Niemo.
